INDIA: In a horrifying incident in a hospital in a remote area of India, a television channel showed a a man garbed in hospital 'greens' stitching up a patient who had arrived at the hospital for treatment. His job profile was that of a cleaner, but he 'doubled' up as a doctor.

The video clip on NDTV also showed a man handling tetanus injections. The man was not a nurse but a ward boy, who was unlikely to be trained at handling injections.

The hospital cleaners and ward boys, claimed the channel, were seen doing the jobs of medical professionals even though the Babu Banarsi Das District hospital in Bulandshahr employs 23 doctors. The chief medical officer was nonchalant about the incident and simply brushed it off by saying that they help around with the patients when there is a rush at the hospital.

When the channel approached the state's health minister, he claimed that the attendants were actually Operation Theatre attendants.
